Pre-Nursing Option

Pre-nursing is a way to ease the load of nursing classes by taking the program in three years as opposed to two years. Completion of pre-nursing courses allows the student to accumulate points used to rank the student for admission into his/her PN or RN year. Completion of anatomy & physiology II and microbiology enhances the likelihood of early RN admission. Pre-nursing is recommended for students who are unaccustomed to a full college load, and/or have heavy family responsibilities or work commitments.

The pre-nursing courses may be taken prior to official program acceptance to the nursing program. If this option is used, the remaining courses are taken after acceptance into the nursing program.

Students enrolled full-time as arts and science pre-nursing majors will take SDV 108 The College Experience.

The following courses may not be taken online: BIO 163 Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology (w/lab), BIO 168 Human Anatomy and Physiology I w/lab, BIO 173 Human Anatomy and Physiology II w/lab, and BIO 186 Microbiology (w/lab).
